TEST 33.
It was Sunday and the weather was fine. Mrs. Smith said, "Let's go for a picnic." "Oh, yes!" said Mary and John, her two children. Mr. Smith siad, "Yes, let's go to the woods and have our picnic there."
They drove along small roads and came to the woods. Mary put the blanket on the ground, John took the food out of the car, Father made a fire, and Mother made tea.
"It's very beautiful here," said Mother. "It's very quiet and green." John had a kite, and soon he was running across the grass with it. "Be careful!" said Mother, but it was too late! John fell over the basket of food, and everything fell out. "Look!" cried Mary. "There are ants in the food!"
Yes, there were. There were lots of them. The blanket was on an ants' nest.
